A former Cape Coral Hospital nurse accused of raping a patient last summer was arrested on sexual assault charges Wednesday afternoon.

Jeovanni Hechavarria, 35, was fired after a patient accused him of assaulting her in her hospital room last July.

Hechavarria had an active felony warrant for sexual battery issued on Monday. Members of the U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested him around 2 p.m. at the Lowes at 14960 South Tamiami Trail.

No bond had been set for Hechavarria and his arraignment is set for Oct. 30.

Hechavarria had had a good work record and received a number of positive reviews from patients during his two years working at the health center, records released in February show.

His employee personnel file, released earlier this year under Florida’s open records law, provided no indication that Hechavarria otherwise acted unprofessionally or exhibited violent tendencies.

According to the records, he worked his last day at the hospital on July 16, 2016, the day after the alleged assault, and was put on unpaid “crisis leave” for the subsequent three months, said hospital spokeswoman Mary Briggs.

He was formally notified of his firing, retroactive to July 16, in a letter dated Nov. 1.

State regulators have placed restrictions on his nursing licenses after determining a sexual assault had taken place.

The Cape Coral Police Department had investigated a separate claim in 2015 that Hechavarria had sexually assaulted a patient but determined that, because of the lack of evidence, that no crime had been committed.

Hechavarria’s employee file does not include any record of that investigation.
